The rest of the original issue is still applicable, so I won't repeat it here.

Recommendation: Add a variable "tableEngine" ("table-engine=" in the entityengine.xml file <datasource> section) and appropriate code in DatabaseUtil.java, searching for and using the string "ENGINE" where "TYPE" is currently used, but keep the tableType constructs so as not to break other databases.

Temporary workaround: Ensure MySQL 5.5 storage_engine server variable is set to InnoDB, and remove the "table-type=InnoDB" line from the <datasource> sections of the entityengine.xml file.
